Georgian President: Georgia stands firm in defending its sovereignty

This year has been challenging and full of trials for Georgia, especially on the backdrop of today’s complex geopolitical situation, said on Monday Georgian President Mikheil Kavelashvili during his speech at the 2025 Ambassadors’ Conference.

The President emphasised that the Georgian Government remains steadfast in defending its sovereignty, national interests, and the peace of its people.

“Because of our principled stance in safeguarding Georgia’s sovereignty, national interests, and peace for our citizens, our country has faced a number of unfounded accusations. We have had to confront multiple challenges and stand up to large-scale campaigns that were certainly not in the best interests of Georgia or its people. Yet, even amid these challenges, research and reports from various institutions and organisations confirm that, based on reliable and objective data, Georgia is not only a regional leader in several areas but even outpaces some EU and NATO member states”, the President said.

He added that Georgia was actively strengthening and deepening its economic and political ties with other countries.

“Of course, we are not content with what we have achieved so far. Guided by our national interests, we are expanding our economic and political relations with both neighboring countries and other states, whose cooperation will yield significant long-term benefits for Georgia. Our country’s strategic location allows Georgia to play an increasingly important role, both in terms of international connectivity and in the implementation of intergovernmental projects”, Kavelashvili concluded.
